Now I can finally get around to answering the question that I asked two weeks ago in this space. Do magnetic fields effect the space containing objects? I would not have recalled that unless I had been rereading my own notes. Has anybody seen my mind lately? It appears to be slipping.
Magnetic fields are static in that the field of a magnet does not require additional energy to remain in effect. However, magnetic fields are dynamic, meaning that they are in motion. Radio communication requires that magnetic fields be capable of moving through space, inducing electrical current in an antenna. A magnetic field seems to work by lining up the charges in atoms within the volume of their influence. However; a magnetic field does not require atoms in order to propagate through space.
I see magnetism as a wave that propagates across the fabric of time-space. If I am right, then a magnetic field definitely has an effect on the fabric of time space which we would not be able to measure except by its effect on the objects contained therein. Remember that the fabric of time-space is like the pixels on your computer screen. If you lived on the screen, then you would not notice if the pixels were unevenly spaced because the pixels would be the smallest references in your universe. Everything that can be measured, even if you cannot measure it, is measured in pixels.
I have already written that gravity seems to be a standing compression wave. The effect of gravity on the fabric of time-space is being measured. Magnetism, which appears to move by displacing point-moments in time-space, can move no faster than light speed because the points in time-space are the reason that we have a light speed limit. In the smallest period of time within the universe, you can only move one of the smallest units of space in the same universe since you must move through every unit of space between your source and your destination. You would have to leave time-space in order to skip point-moments.
Notice that I went through this entire tirade without answering the first question. I just assumed that magnetism effects the fabric of space-time. Gravity and magnetism are both quantum forces. Both forces propagate through space even in the absence of atoms, physical material, to conduct them. If the effect of magnetism is independent of mass, then maybe I am on to something.
